Has there been a recent movement to ensure Marie Skłodowska-Curie‘s name is written as such? Mentioned her in my vid and have got about ten comments admonishing me for calling her Marie Curie. I am very🇵🇱happy to change, but when clusters of comments come like this it often suggests something recent

Doctors AND patients whose kinks are disease? This is gross and I want nothing to do with it @hankgreen.bsky.social

I can’t believe someone who won the prestigious FIFA Peace Prize would do this

This is exactly the same in radiology. We get excited about radiological signs as well - we are excited that we've seen them and recognised them for what they are - and also because that diagnosis then enables the clinician to take the appropriate action to help the patient.

I made a video about a case that taught me to temper my arrogance, while not entirely abandoning it. As a young doctor, I had a career-highlight, can't-wait-to-tell-my-friends moment. It was also the worst day of someone's life www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrQb...

Bari Weiss is killing stories the right way. by Ezra Klein

I’m sure many of you have noticed the uptick in articles saying variations of “churches are reporting increased interest in religion among the young”. @tomnicholas.bsky.social made the point in a recent video. Except this is contrary to all independent data. Almost as if churches are making stuff up

Exactly what I thought when I saw it! The trailer has a cute little animation for the title too, and a Gorrilaz soundtrack 😎 NB for British friends, 10/2 sadly does not mean the 10th of Feb

Never a dull day in cardiology

Poor Jofra Archer. The only England player who can hold his head up. God I’ve never lost interest in a series as quickly. Wake up, strong coffee, check the score, close the app. That’s my entire Ashes routine since halfway through the second Test

You know when an idea is so unfathomably stupid, and you know it’s stupid, but then you see more and more people talking about it seriously, first the wacko billionaires, then their stupid fans…but then so many credulous journalists and content creators, that you feel maybe YOU’RE the stupid one?

Banger youtube comment lmao. Although, Prometheus was at least trying to help humans

My patient and her husband have been married 70 years! And still so obviously in love. I was very sad to have to break some bad news but it was beautiful to see their relationship and the lovely family they’ve made ❤️

If a director made just one of half a dozen on this list, you’d consider them great. Personally, I watched Stand By Me, the Princess Bride and Spinal Tap at the exact right ages in my life for each to have a huge impact and, honestly, shape my personality. RIP Rob Reiner 💔

Christ on a bike never heard of this guy but how even GB News can host such a gimp is shocking

Simple answer is early in a drug’s life, data not always clear & pharma companies want to protect their investments. So they have a low bar to add warnings to preclude legal surprises. Then once it’s in the box pamphlet, there’s little pressure to remove it even if disproven; already in clinical use

I’m late to this (it is very long so I needed to make some time!) but thoroughly enjoyed it. So so good. @jessiegender.bsky.social nebula.tv/videos/jessi...

If Vidyut Jamwal as Dhalsim doesn’t stretch I am personally going to vibe code a bot that leaves 0/5 star reviews for Street Fighter on IMDB

Damn he was bang on the money. Even referring to ’content’ and progressively shorter format information communication. Written in 1995! I re-read Contact on a farm in Sicily a couple of months ago, where I could just sit on my own in the night looking at the stars. His writing was special.

C’mon Google where’s the doodle for a living legend

Phoebe Gates seems like an extremely intelligent and genuinely philanthropic daughter-of-billionaires, but before we start fawning over another tech founder too much (she wrote the code in her dorm room!), remember tech companies just cannot stop themselves from…being tech companies

An example of the confusing times we live in. Just saw Robin Ince quit the Infinite Monkey Cage. What’s that about? Post from him seems straightforward; he’s been forced out for taking a principled stance on an important topic. Many supportive replies.

2016 Daily Mail: We want foreigners out! We don’t care if it makes us poorer. Brexit means Brexit! 2025 Daily Mail: Foreigners are leaving Starmer’s Britain because this country is poor and shit! This country would be so much better off without this hypocritical, incendiary, irresponsible rag.

Both pieces are fascinating. This seems to have succeeded...😡 "Jeffrey Epstein – long portrayed by the Republican right as part of a deep state liberal conspiracy – was providing strategic, financial and media support to the very heart of Trump’s MAGA movement,... 1/

Nebula is artisanal handmade craftwork in a world of thoughtless mass-produced AI slop. I’m not even kidding, I’m so proud this is a selling point for us. It’s always a good time to support humans making cool stuff!! Makes a fun Christmas gift too… ☺️🎅🏽 go.nebula.tv/medlifecrisis

I am happy to endorse a musical genre based around heart sounds

Aye carumba it turns out my niblings’ donors were from this same sperm bank!

Damn this was quite emotional to read. Poor people, can’t imagine how that would affect what I assume was a happy marriage. With two kids!

This is not Quek Shio’s best video but it’s still an example of how magical and impressive his work is. I’ll link one of my favourite ever short form vertical videos below. He’s made such amazing stuff. Which is why I’m so sad he’s pivoted to AI. Did not see that coming. It’s inescapable now.

It's because she is a fringe state

Made a little video about how birds can fly so dang far in one go, and also how the heart is better than all the other organs. Basically two of my favourite subjects in the world youtu.be/cw05PSlQ8lI?...

Deeply tragic case. [I say this as uncle of two kids conceived via a Danish sperm bank] This immediately makes me think of the full bore attempts of Silicon Valley to glamorise eugenics. This donor was regarded as ‘high value’, leading to his sperm being used 200 times www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I had no idea Claudia Winkleman was a US vassal state, how is this not a bigger scandal

Posted a frustrated thought after seeing yet another “food is medicine” GP-turned-instagram kitchen guy influencer pivot their MBBS to cooking. Everyone is free to do what they want! I’m just marvelling that this is a commonly trod career path now. Seems a huge waste of medical training 🤷🏽‍♂️

Lot of talk about decolonisation these days, and it’s great to see how formerly colonised nations are attempting to reassert their own identities and move away from influences left by their former occupiers. Interesting that never seems to get extended to religion though.

Reading further, the GP is being defended by the MDU but the claimant is also suing the practice which includes the partners who are covered by the MPS which does not cover 'vicarious responsibility'. Partners who had no input into the decision. www.pulsetoday.co.uk/news/practic...

Still thinking about the GP getting sued by a university student for £15M after she was paralysed in a skydiving accident. Why? Because the GP signed a ’fit to take part’ form. I get the woman is angry and upset but where is the logic? What are the ramifications? 1/3 www.mirror.co.uk/lifestyle/he...

@bsky.app please fix this over aggressive refresh on your app. Swipe to another app to fact check something before posting for just 2 minutes and when I come back everything I’d typed has gone

Further more the ADHD this is getting on my nut. I had a child school had sent in for a referral for ADHD as he was unhappy at school (and school only) A few questions and it was obvious he was being bullied. STOP PATHOLOGISING NORMAL HUMAN BEHAVIOUR!

😆

I am sure he will take this well. Place your bets now on how many times he tweets about this, I'm starting at 50

I love adapting jokes for different audiences, doing some research about a culture I'm not a part of, because if you do it well, you get welcomed in! Such a great feeling. Yesterday I talked to a Nigerian medical association and now they are voting on what my Nigerian nickname should be 🇳🇬 😂

This is AI. It's fake. It's fictional. This is the new world of AI-Evangelism. It's manipulative, disingenuous, and predatory. It targets older, vulnerable people who won’t know the difference – aiming to convert through deception for views and ad revenue. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiyv...

sexy teen soap set at starfleet academy? why not! they should make every type of show star trek. moody scandinavian police procedural star trek. half-hour family sitcom starring worf. vulcan columbo

The most random mixed bag of reliability and quality but I am, apparently, one of the Top 25 Healthcare Influencers in the UK. Some deeply dubious company there (and some great ones) Eh I'll take it. Seems to be just instagram, one app I absolutely dgaf about influencers.feedspot.com/uk_healthcar...

[extremely niche joke] Potentially justifiable use of Al: a video of Jeremy Corbyn singing "Zarah Sultana" to the tune of 'Sara Zamana, haseeno ka deewana’ Even better, I would like to see it happen in real life at the next Your Fiasco party.
